A Highly Sensational Shooting Affair In

Georgia.
MCDoNoUGH, Ga, Aug. ia terrible
tragedy was enacted Just outside the
town about dusk in which one we'll
known citizen wa shet dead by another.
Mrs. Brown, the keeper of the hotel here.
has three daughters. One is married to
Robert II. Tomlinson, who keeps a livery
stable here. The second is married to
Mr.. Alexander, O farmer on the edge of
town, and the third is a popular and re-
spected young lady. Among her admi-
rers was a well-known young commercial
man named Mr.. Charles D. Linn.
Rumor has 1t that they were engaged to
be marriad, and several times the date of
the marriage was anticipated, but some
thing always stood in the way.
Linn finally concluded that the OBJ
struction came from the brother-in-law,
Tomlinson, and freely expressed his I'M
complimentary opinion of the latter.
When Tomlinson heard the charges
which had been made by Linn he grew
very angry and vowed that he would kill
him. He began drinking, and when
fully stirred up, armed himself and
started in pursuit of Linn. Once he was
induced to desist, but later in the day he
enewed his search, going direct to his
mother in-law's hotel. Mrs. Brown had
started Linn out She back way, and
urged him to 60 to Alexander's as the
safest refuge from Tomlinson. Tomlin-
son searched every room in the hotel
fruitlsssly, as well as the stables. and
then as all supposed, went home foiled.
After Alexander had received Linn
into his house he left him there, without
any fear that he would be molested.
One of the first callers, however, was the
Infatuated man, who, cycling Linn,
rushed toward him, and Selling him by
the coat-eollar said: ED you / nave
come to kill your At that moment
simultaneous shots were heard. Linn
fired three times, one shot taking effect
in Tomlinson's left shoulder, another in
his left breast, and another in his left
arm. One chamber of Tomlinson,s pistol
was emptied when he fell dead at the
feet of Linn.
Mr.. Linn at once came into town and
surrendered himself to the sheriff of
Henry county. The ceroner's jury is still
on the case, and yoluminous testimony is
being heard by 1t.

aster. He had not been informed of any
thing of the kind. Nj. Stevens said
if the men had been arrested it had been

FARGO, Oak, Aug. d6.--Harvestin the
hard wheat region is so far advanced that
estimates of the crop can be made. The
frequent rains the past month have
greatly reduced the shortage in Cass, the
largest wheat county in the territory.
and several counties adjoining, also in
the Missouri valley; but the Yield will be
below that OF last year. In the more
northerly counties it viii be much
larger than ever before. In some sections
rs high a sforty bushels an acre is claimed.
The aggregate Of the territory will no
doubt be 2,0 00, 900 bushels in excess of
that of 1886, which was the largest yield.
The quality could not well be better. In
the north the weather for harvest has
been very favora BILE, but in parts of the
south there Is damage from excessive
rains.
